Marin Alsop and the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra

Listen Thursday, Dec. 4, 2008 at 12:30 p.m. in Arts & Culture

Some called it the last of the great "professional boys clubs" in America -- the country's tight circle of major musical conductors. But Marin Alsop shattered that glass ceiling a few years ago when the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra made her the first woman ever to lead a major American symphony orchestra. We talk with Alsop about her journey and the future of classical music in America.
